Le Labo’s distinctive metal bubble screen recently featured in the new windows for Paris luxury label Hermès’s Brisbane boutique, designed by Sydney-based Chen Lu. Lu specified the Le Labo Mixed Bubble screen, exclusively distributed by Boyac, due to its Parisian palette and its reflective, versatile and transparent features which allow for layering.
The Le Labo panels add depth and texture to the new windows of Hermes, enhancing the visual of the products. The shifting nature of the metal bubble screen allows it to catch light at different angles, and create a luminous effect.
